Winter is always a great time to visit the Lehigh Valley Zoo - admission is cheaper and many animals prefer the cold weather to the heat of summer. Officials at the Schnecksville zoo say almost all of the animals on can be seen in their exhibits year round and are often more active in cold weather. During the zoo's off-season through March 31, admission is reduced from $9.75 to $7.75 for adults and from $7.75 to $5.75 for children. The zoo is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily but call first in case of bad weather. Info: www.lvzoo.org or 610-799-4171.
